As a 9~5 employee like me and my wife, we had discussed several times on how to take care of our new family member in future. Depending on my mom or her mom is not a wisely solution, because both of them are quite old and even her mom already taking care of four kids from others family members. We worry she’ll exhausted.

Hiring a maid is one of the ideas that we proposed to each other. Because she still don’t want to lose her job and the cost of hiring a maid is more cheaper than her salary. In the mean time, we still need that income.

Even I had proposed this idea to my little coolcoolbird, to get his opinion…

My little darling, do you like this?

Or this?

YES! WE LIKE THIS!!!

Opps!!!Aww! Aww! Sorry my dear...

Son, we better choose this!

Therefore, as the discussion from start till now, we still fail to make a decision on hire or not hire a maid.

However, the crucial blocking point is not what I mentioned above; actually we are worrying about this…......

is money so important that you need both parents to work? i guess if you are mulling getting a maid it is... lets say you do get a great maid who is heaven sent. you kids will be probably more attached to the maid than the parents.. dont' you feel a bit of heartache seeing your own child more attached to a "stranger" than to their own flesh and blood? i guess its fair after all the maid is always there for the child unlike the parents...
